Ross County: Malky Mackay set to be appointed manager

Malky Mackay is set for his first job as a manager in six years, with Ross County expected to appoint him as John Hughes' successor.

Mackay's last full-time managerial role was at Wigan Athletic where he was sacked after five months.

Hughes, who replaced Stuart Kettlewell in December, left on Monday after keeping County in the top flight.

The Dingwall club finished 10th and have been in the Scottish Premiership for eight of the last nine seasons.

Mackay had a one-game interim spell as Scotland boss in November 2017 - a 1-0 friendly defeat by Netherlands - following Gordon Strachan's departure.
